The Israeli Tax Authority is poking and prodding their best poker players over a disagreement on taxation that could cost the professional player base millions of shekels.

You prick.

That’s what I used to think if I asked a poker player for his name while recording a hand at a live tournament. I get it now.

If there’s anything worse than having to hand over significant portions of your hard earned cash to the taxman, it’s having to hand it over after many years of not having to.
